From the outset, Randy Dunn’s flagship Cabernet has been one of Napa Valley’s slowest agers and most consistently outstanding wines. This retrospective going back to the inaugural 1979 vintage showed the Howell Mountain Cabernet to be a wine of great intensity and staying power but also of restraint and class.

Randy Dunn is one of Napa Valley's most iconic producers. Over the years and decades Dunn has remained faithful to what he views a classic style of Cabernet Sauvignon. Although in many ways quite introverted and reclusive, Dunn hasn't been shy in his critiquing wines that he feels are overdone, which hasn't exactly won him a ton of friends in some circles. The great irony is that as many of today's generation of young winemakers seek to rediscover the roots of Napa Valley, Dunn's wines, along with those of a handful of producers – including Forman, Togni, Inglenook and Diamond Creek among others – have never been more popular.
